1 Know your audience

Before you start creating and posting content, you need to understand who your target audience is, what they care about, and how they use social media. You can use tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, or Instagram Insights to gather data on their age, gender, location, interests, behavior, and sentiment. You can also conduct surveys, interviews, or focus groups to get more insights into their needs, challenges, and goals. The more you know your audience, the better you can tailor your message and tone to resonate with them.

You first know your audience and see the recent social media trends and the participation of your audience in those trends. Through analytic tools you can then filter out the interest areas of your target audience.

To effectively reach younger audiences on social media, focus on authenticity and engagement. I did this in reverse for Aunty Acid which I grew totally organically to 12 Million fans. Create compelling, visually appealing content that resonates with their interests and values. Utilise platforms popular among younger demographics, such as Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. Leverage user-generated content and influencer partnerships increasing credibility and relatability. Implement features like polls, quizzes, to foster a sense of community. Consistency and frequency in posting to maintain relevance and visibility. Finally, regularly monitor analytics to track performance and adjust strategies accordingly to optimize engagement.

It's a good idea to do brand research via surveys or focus groups to understand the influences your social community likes best. You can test video concepts, article topics etc. to short cut the creative writing time. Consider using AI tools like Chat GPT 4 to create some of the content to short cut the process.

2 Choose the right platforms and formats

Not all social media platforms are equally popular or effective for reaching younger audiences. You need to consider where they spend most of their time, what kind of content they consume, and how they interact with brands. For example, Gen Z and millennials tend to prefer visual and interactive platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where they can watch short videos, stories, and live streams, as well as create and share their own content. They also value platforms that offer more personalization, creativity, and community, such as Snapchat, Pinterest, and Twitch. You should focus on the platforms and formats that match your audience's preferences and expectations, and avoid spreading yourself too thin across too many channels.

3 Create relevant and authentic content

Younger audiences are savvy and discerning when it comes to social media content. They can easily spot and ignore generic, boring, or salesy content that does not add value to their lives. They want content that is relevant, engaging, and authentic, that reflects their interests, passions, and identities, and that inspires them to take action or join a conversation. You should create content that showcases your brand's personality, values, and purpose, as well as your products or services, in a way that is relatable, entertaining, and informative. You should also use a conversational and casual tone, avoid jargon and clichés, and incorporate humor, emotion, or storytelling when appropriate.

Younger audiences are smarter nowadays, and they don't have a short attention span; rather, they have a short consideration span. To capture their attention, it's essential to showcase content that is relevant, entertaining, and educational. Using their language is a plus, as it makes them feel extra like a friend posting on their feed.

4 Encourage user-generated content

One of the most effective ways to use social media to reach younger audiences is to encourage them to create and share content about your brand. User-generated content (UGC) is content that is created by your customers or fans, such as photos, videos, reviews, or testimonials, that features or mentions your brand. UGC is powerful because it builds trust, credibility, and loyalty among your audience, as well as increases your reach and visibility. You can encourage UGC by creating hashtags, challenges, contests, or campaigns that invite your audience to participate and showcase their creativity. You can also feature and reward the best UGC on your own channels, and thank and interact with your contributors.

Never sleep on community management, and that includes UGC. Show up and engage with your audience when they mention and tag your brand. The more love you put out, the more love you get in return. UGC is also a strong e-commerce tool as it serves as a word-of-mouth tool. After gaining content rights for the UGC, use it on your website product pages to help shoppers ‘see’ themselves with your product before they buy.

5 Measure and optimize your performance

To ensure that your social media strategy is working and delivering the results you want, you need to measure and optimize your performance. You need to define your goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with your objectives, such as awareness, engagement, conversion, or retention. You also need to use tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or Hootsuite to track and analyze your metrics, such as impressions, reach, clicks, likes, comments, shares, or sales. You should regularly review your data and insights, and identify what is working and what is not, and adjust your strategy accordingly. You should also test different variables, such as content, format, timing, or targeting, and see what performs better.
